Yes on same flat track not a single Paki opener average 50. :hysterical::hysterical: It still hurts Pakis that their adopted son was no match to Tendulkar. And gtfo from this thread. It is for Robelinda.

edit i should have said ftb but great against spin.

Even outside Asia he was doing well during first half of his career. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/35263.html?class=1;filter=advanced;home_or_away=2;host=1;host=2;host=3;host=4;host=5;host=9;orderby=start;template=results;type=batting;view=cumulative;wrappertype=print 47.60 in first 18 matches He completely lost it after that. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/35263.html?class=1;filter=advanced;home_or_away=2;host=1;host=2;host=3;host=4;host=5;host=9;orderby=start;template=results;type=batting;view=reverse_cumulative;wrappertype=print 25.77 in next 18 matches.

I agree that he has the talent to score on any track but his lack of application/carelessness/borderline arrogance has cost him. I also believe he is a lot more vulnerable to swing than say a Dravid or a Tendulkar.

This is not thing. Most batsmen will be comfortable where they have been playing all their life. Sehwag is God in SC. If Sehwag is ordinary then Ponting is also ordinary as he has a below average record in SC.

Surely a flat track is a track that offers nothing for all bowlers, not just fast bowlers?

Surely a flat track is a track that offers nothing for all bowlers' date=' not just fast bowlers?[/quote'] yeh flat track is only good for batsman but sehwag is good on 2 types of tracks flat and spinner friendly tracks.

So he is not an FTB then. Thanks for retracting your statement.

Sehwag is a slow track bully. He is great player of spin bowling and can handle bounce very well.

[Sehwag1830]

And spin friendly track also assist reverse swing. So you are merely insulting all the achievements of Pakistan batsman by saying that they scored on pitches that had nothing for the bowlers.

i still consider him as an ftb due to his inflated average on flat tracks.

when did i say it's is easy to score on turners?

[Sehwag1830]

i still consider him as an ftb due to his inflated average on flat tracks.

So you also consider Ponting GTB because of his inflated average on fast tracks. And please no Ind-Pak on this thread.

When you said it lol ftb.

No you just don't rate his ability to score on tracks assisting seamers. At least that is what i am understanding from your posts in this thread.

Everyone's average gets inflated by flat tracks if you consider flat track everywhere.

i don't have an opinion on pointing please provide some stats and then i can say. the only reason why i consider sehwag as an ftb is because i have seen how inflated his average is due to drawn games.
